That just sucks. I hope they catch the coward. They didn't have the individual's name or condition posted. Hope he or she is ok.
I'll take dodging trees instead of cars any day. Too many idiots driving cars these days.

It takes a pretty big scumbag to leave someone for dead. Not that I would ever condone it either, but a collision with another car is one thing; but you KNOW the person you hit on the bike or a pedestrian is in need of medical assistance.

Dr. Matt Burke's condition basically remains "unchanged". He was moved from MCG to Eisenhower Medical Center. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. This has been devastating for them.
Everyone that has been close to Matt's situation has tremendous heartache for Mr. Loumizen and his family. Besides the absolute ridiculous nature of a hit-and-run, this will be a painful and arduous journey for the Loumizen family. My hope is that they have a chance.
Man, I miss Matt...

What a senseless tragedy, i hate to hear stories like this. If you hit a person, and leave them for dead then you deserve 20 years in jail. I know a family that knows the guy who ran over Dr. Burke. I started to ask them a few weeks ago what ever happened to the guy who was driving the car. They said two things: That several of the riders testified that they heard the car engine REV UP before hitting the cyclists. And also that they never even pressed charges against the driver !!  ? I said why not, do you mean to say he isnt in jail for this? They said, nope its "under investigation". So while Dr Burke is basically brain dead and his family destroyed, the guy who was driving basically gets away with it? Does anyone have any more info on what actually happend, and if the guy is going to do jail time , etc.. ? |
